What’s growing in Northside’s patch?

Northside Elementary School student Michael Rodriquez struggles to carry a pumpkin as he and other students and teachers roll up their sleeves to unload nearly 2,000 pumpkins Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2009 at the school. The school will be selling pumpkins from its “patch” from Oct. 1-31, Mon.-Sat. 10 a.m.-dark and Sunday noon-dark.
